In order to keep up with CDMA they became more like it. For instance they significantly increased their hopping rate in order to get a reuse closer to 1 (sound familiar?). In order to do so they had to move to a much quicker and finer power control scheme (sound familiar?). LOL! Sounds very familiar. Now I understand why the crown jewel patents figure prominently in the text of the complaint. Another is to assert dormant IP on new or updated standards for which final agreements are not yet nailed down. E.g. EVDO. Pretty much guaranteed that Nokia has patents that can do this. Doing so will result in a nuclear winter where no one can do much of anything (injunction against Q, injunction against Nokia, ...). Let's hope Q picked them up on the cross-license. We'll see. Don't understand this at all. Sorry, I'm afraid I was not very clear and was to boot factually inaccurate. JeffreyHF recently pointed out that Lupin said that Q had GSM IPR when Q sued BRCM in July, and that it might have been his attempt to alert us to the show down we're now witnessing: Message 21846666 Emotion Surely smacks of it. The poor PR Nokia issued is a good example.

I guarantee that modern GSM looks a lot more like CDMA than you might imagine. In order to keep up with CDMA they became more like it. For instance they significantly increased their hopping rate in order to get a reuse closer to 1 (sound familiar?). In order to do so they had to move to a much quicker and finer power control scheme (sound familiar?). Clark, what you said here is what I think. This is not so much a suit over "GSM patents." It is more a suit of core patents that are also directed toward/read on GSM applications. The GSM+ is in many ways more like CDMA.
